We drove to the city yesterday to spend the night and check on the kitties. My daughter and I are also planning on getting pedicures today because I'm flying to Jersey City on Tuesday next week for work and my feet look terrible after 10 days spent in flip-flops!
While I'm here, I've been catching up on my blog reading and decided to write a WIP Wednesday post! This week, I completed my August Schnibble top - Dimestore. You can read about it here. I started quilting the Happy Weekender top which is going to be my boss' 50th birthday present.
I also got totally inspired by the wonderful Sinta who blogs at Pink Pincushion. Sinta hosts a great quilt-along called BOM Rehab where participants of BOM programs work on long forgotten blocks. I didn't "officially" participate in Sinta's quilt along this week but I decided to put together the last 5 blocks of the Fat Quarter Shop Designer Mystery BOM from 2010! Yes - 2010!
First, here is block 8 - Welcome to our House:
Then, there was block 9 - Matching Ornaments:
Here is block 10 - All Tied Up With Pretty Red Tinsel:
This is block 11 - The Basket of Good Cheer:
And finally, this is block 12 - The Final Touch:
And here they all are ready for me to open the finishing kit and sew these babies together:
So I don't have any completions this week, but lots of progress on a number of projects:
- Dimestore (top complete)
- 241 Tote Bag (still need to piece)
- Happy Weekender (quilting has started)
- FQS 2010 DM BOM (must finish top)
Linking up at Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Really, really cute blocks and it will be a wonderful quilt. So glad you made some progress because someone will really enjoy that quilt!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I really love the 2010 FQ BOM. Jealous that you have it. :)
ReplyDeleteBlock 10 is my absolute fave!
ReplyDeleteTHese quilts with all different blocks are so fun to do. I did a kit that was a gift from my husband that was a THimbleberries design. I was almost a little sad when I finished piecing the last block.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute blocks! Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks are gorgeous and now you have a great start on a Christmas quilt. Enjoy that pedicure :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute, Izzy! I would like to work on a Christmas quilt soon.
ReplyDeleteYou do such precise and lovely work!
